Huzzah!

Call me JD or Sly. A huge music, movie, TV, books and pop culture junkie. Having said that, I'm not remotely good at any form of art (haha!). I'm more of the behind-the-scenes type. Being an introvert, I'm better at expressing my thoughts in writing than in person. My life is a bore so this blog is some sort of outlet to keep my sanity. Most of the time though, my typing hands are busy with work so I do this only when my schedule permits or if I'm passionate about something I've heard/seen/read lately.

Blogger - me? I wouldn't call myself that. I don't even know if I'm doing it right. After all, I'm just a regular person thinking out loud through written words on a modern platform. It's an enjoyable pastime and it's very therapeutic at times. So I hope you enjoy reading around and uh, feel free to hit me back. :-)

Pop culture junkie

Mark Zuckerberg, hit me up!

I don’t really think The Social Network tells the story of the famous Facebook founder, I mean not entirely I guess to some extent, but damn it was good. For me, one sign that I really loved something is the aftershock. When after watching, you think about it and analyze everything you saw – that’s a good movie because it keeps you interested. I especially enjoyed the dialogues and those smart-ass lines, kudos to Aaron Sorkin and of course director, David Fincher. Jesse Eisenberg is great and really defined the character. I’m no critic, but I think he should get nominated for his portrayal of the punk genius traitor billionaire. The rest of the cast are notable as well. This is a great début for Andrew Garfield aka the new Spider-man, who plays co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Even Justin Timberlake gave his best performance in his acting career as Napster founder, Sean Parker. Armie Hammer was also effective in playing both of the Winklevoss twins who claimed that Zuckerberg stole the idea from them.

At the end of it all, I’m just bummed that Zuckerberg had to settle the lawsuits. I’m so impressed with the acting and the writing and speaking of, there’s so many lines I liked in the movie that I can list them:

1. “If you guys were the creators of Facebook, you would’ve created Facebook.”
